installed gt sports today and must say are well worth the money. nice smoother ride, good steering response... for those looking to spend $400 on shocks is worth it

I noticed with Boge's that the rear is about 30% softer than the front but not sure if its the same case with KYB but it seems these Monroe GT feel about the same which is good.

I just fitted new standard Monroe GT GAS all round a few months ago, with lows. If I put Supers in, how long can I expect the shocks to last? A year? Car does 20K a year.
Can you do anything to help save the shocks? Like different bump stops etc? |

No autopart store near me can give me a price on the GT Sports till monday where as Sprint quoted me
Front Shocks/Struts- KYB 333341 $120 Each Rear Shocks - 343327 - $65 Each So for KYB Lowered Shocks between $350-$400 depending on where i go. Should i wait till a weekday and get prices on the GT Sports ?
